In our experience, many younger families who are keen for space want somewhere not too far out that has good local services, a reasonable buzz and excellent schools, as well as prices that help them buy a lot more for their money. Here are five to consider.

Cricklewood NW2

Where? North of Willesden Green and Kilburn, on the A5

Why? The area has been changing recently as central-London escaping younger families who might have once looked at Kensal Green, Queen’s Park and Hampstead have instead headed for Cricklewood, encouraged by the planned £4.5 billion revamp of neighbouring Brent Cross shopping centre.

How much?

It is well-known for spacious three- and four-bedroom Victorian, Edwardian and 1930s semis. These dominate the market here and start at £650,000, rising to £2.5m.

Where? It’s a much-desired triangle of streets bordered by Stockwell, Brixton, Balham and Wandsworth. Clapham is famous for the huge common at its heart as well as a bustling high street and, in many places, large Victorian detached villas and semis.

How much? It’s popular, so competition for houses here is strong. Expect to pay at least £800,000 for a modern three-bedroom semi and £900,000 for a period one. Prices then reach up to £3 million for Victorian four-bedroom examples.
